Decision 2000/258/EC designates the laboratory of the Agence française de sécurité sanitaire des aliments de Nancy (the AFSSA Laboratory, Nancy), France, as the specific institute responsible for establishing the criteria necessary for standardising the serological tests to monitor the effectiveness of rabies vaccines.

(4)

An additional laboratory in Germany has been authorised by the AFSSA Laboratory, Nancy, in compliance with Decision 2000/258/EC.

(5)

That laboratory should accordingly be added to the list of authorised laboratories in the Member States set out in the Annex to Decision 2004/233/EC.

(6)

Decision 2004/233/EC should therefore be amended accordingly.

(7)
